Annoys me to the level that I rarely visit pubs for a drink only.
I have a feeble throat which develops laryngitis if I drink much cold beer (I used to think it was a "holiday cold" until the connection clicked).
As Searush says, you can't taste cold drinks anyway, so what is the point?

Actually, Phil that is the whole point. Ice cold beers are for people who don't like the taste of the beer. I like a pint of Guinness, but I will not buy the Ice cold version at any price.

A check revealed it was steam and a lot of the engine coolant had boiled off. Further inspection revealed the fan belt had broken

Sounds 'exciting'. I was just thinking, in a similar fix would it be possible to rig up a manual pump to the sea water side of cooling system to cool the engine? Bilge/dinghy pump maybe? Or would you not be able to get sufficient flow? Obviously in these circumstances you'd have to bodge it together pretty quick!
